FAQs & Troubleshooting
Ink is still wet after printing on Glossy Paper and even after ink dries, smudge appears.
Be sure to check the front and back of the paper. Place the glossy surface (printing surface) face down.
If you use glossy photo paper, make sure the paper type setting is correct.
Even if you use non-Brother Glossy Paper and select Other Photo Paper or Other Glossy for the settings, still this issue may occur. In that case select Brother BP71 Photo Paper for your settings.
